Setup, Compatibility & Care
Initial Setup
Your Kipling Asseni S Tote arrives ready to use. If you wish to use the shoulder strap, simply attach the swivel clips at each end of the strap to the D-rings located on the sides of the tote. Adjust the strap length using the slider to achieve your desired comfort, whether you prefer it over the shoulder or as a cross-body bag.
Compatibility
This tote is designed for general daily use and personal items. It's compatible with most standard everyday essentials like wallets, phones, keys, small notebooks, and tablets. Always check the dimensions (28cm H x 40cm W x 14cm D) against any larger items you intend to carry, such as specific laptops, to ensure a fit.
Care & Maintenance
To ensure your Kipling Asseni S Tote remains in excellent condition:
- Cleaning: Due to its water-repellent polyester material, most minor marks and dirt can be wiped away with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a small amount of mild soap diluted in water, apply gently with a soft cloth, and then wipe clean with a separate damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the bag to air dry completely. Do not machine wash, tumble dry, or expose it to direct heat, as this can damage the material and hardware.
- Storage: When not in use, store your bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading and material degradation. You may lightly stuff it with tissue paper to help maintain its shape.
- Water Repellency: Remember that while the bag is water repellent and can withstand light rain, it is not fully waterproof. Avoid submerging the bag in water or exposing it to heavy downpours for extended periods.
